The default path of ntp drift file is /etc/ntp.drift, ntp daemon
maybe fails to create this file since the user ntp is not always
permitted to write /etc.
Refer to other distributions such as RedHat, Debian, just moving
the file to /var/lib/ntp which the home dir of user ntp.

The description in a previous patch to disable debugging is incorrect.
Although the option is default-enabled in configure.ac, configure does
respect the option that disables it.
In ntp 4.2.7 the option code is refactored to ntp_debug.m4 and has an
effect in sntp as well. Adding --disable-debugging to the top-level
configure options overrides the default for both 4.2.6 and 4.2.7 without
patching the distribution.
Make the selection explicit and configurable, but restore the historical
default. Absence of debugging capability in the server makes it
difficult to validate complex configurations.

The monlist feature in ntp_request.c in ntpd in NTP before
4.2.7p26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(traffic amplification) via forged (1) REQ_MON_GETLIST or
(2) REQ_MON_GETLIST_1 requests, as exploited in the wild
in December 2013.

There is a problem in configure.ac file that whether or not
'--enable-debugging' is specified in configure cmdline, debugging
is always enabled.
We should disable ntp debugging by default.

"--with-binsubdir" controls whether we use bin_PROGRAMS or
sbin_PROGRAMS while installing executable files in ntp
Makefile, in order to install all the relevant files in
/usr/sbin instead of /usr/bin, we can pass "--with-binsubdir=sbin"
in ntp configure cmdline.
Accordingly, updating the path for the files which are
contained in rpm packages.

The default ntp.conf file does the right thing but one of the comments is
a bit misleading based on the active parts of the file changing a few
times. Update the comment to accurately describe what is happening in the
configuration file and what a user should do next.

When ntpd starts, it will create a daemon to connect this invalid server,
and fail, then ntpd will create other daemon to connect the local-only
(127.127.1.0) server.
The users should be aware that they need to configure the correct ntp
servers, a invalid server will lead to a redundant daemon, so it is better
to comment this example server to wait user to configure

If ntpd script is being called by a non-root user using sudo,
it will fail as follows:
/etc/init.d/ntpd restart
Stopping ntpd: /etc/init.d/ntpd: line 29: start-stop-daemon:
command not found
done
Starting ntpd: /etc/init.d/ntpd: line 24: start-stop-daemon:
command not found
done
This is because /etc/init.d/ntpd calls start-stop-daemon which
is in /sbin (not in the default path for non-root users)
Explicitly configure the PATH to include /sbin.

People can't blindly use pool.ntp.org, especially if they are building
for a product or something that could be used in a product, so at least
try to get people to do the right thing and not use pool.ntp.org by
default.
The previous network interface up script is now installed as
ntpdate-sync in ${bindir} (and symlinked as the network if-up script).
NTPSERVERS needs to be set in /etc/default/ntpdate.default at runtime,
or a different version of this file with a default value can be provided
in a bbappend. (If you intend to use ntpd you will also want to provide
an ntp.conf with the appropriate server(s) set there as well.)

* Move common definitions to the inc file
* Drop override of do_configure which doesn't seem to be needed anymore
* Fold ntp-ssl into the ntp recipe as a PACKAGECONFIG option for those
who want it (default to off) and fix configure-time checks to detect
OpenSSL properly so that it gets enabled when selected
* Remove ntp-bin package and put its contents in currently empty
ntp-utils package (with migration path)
* Fix hardcoded paths in ntpd initscript
* Specify ntpd.conf as a configuration file for packaging purposes
* Rearrange so that packaging definitions are towards the end in the
expected order
* Delete unused "ntp" initscript file
* Add SUMMARY
* Update HOMEPAGE
